Re: Sony: We're Not Going to Open PS5 Pre-Orders at a Moment's Notice

Darthrau

@Menchi Dang I preorder atleast a grand a year(Star Wars collector also) and know the store manager and still have to show up when they are announced to reserve mine. I'm in the US but still and it takes 100 down plus 5 for every other item ie headset, game,and extra controller. Of course if you don't you get one of there great "bundle" scams for day one online purchase only.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Ghost of Tsushima?

Darthrau

I asked and asked are you upgrading it. No answer just silence so 62 and change for my ps5 fund. My last games of this gen are Cyberpunk and Avengers preordered. On the maybe side is Pathfinder oh and gotta grab Kingdoms of Amalur again I love that game if its worth the 55 price tag for dlc also.

Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 for a Brand New PS5 Game?

Darthrau

I've said it before I'll say it again. If it's a new ip I'm interested in a continuing ip or a quality developer yep. Sports games or games with waffling reviews or iffy gameplay/story used or sale. The Order I bought new to support yeah the gameplay could've opened up more but that whole world screams rpg. Anthem I bought new I've been with Bioware since the beginning it bit me in the bum yes but hey I honestly enjoyed what was there. The last sports game I bought at full price was in 2014ish. I mostly do franchises and since they barely get touched why pay for dlc each year?

Re: Industry Rallies Around The Last of Us 2 Voice Actor After Hate Messages Are Revealed

Darthrau

Hmm just because a story may stink Disney Star Wars I'm looking at you. Doesn't mean the actors did anything wrong. The age of social media where clowns think(and mostly can) so anything with zero to no conciquences. They say teen suicide is up do we wonder why? 1 sticks and stones now break most of their bones and 2 they can't remove their faces from twittwat and facebook he said she said. In the 90s if a dude was bullying someone you called him out if he didn't show up he shut up if he showed up you shut him up. In 2020 if your bullied you hide it inside until you take your life or bring a weapon to your school and ruin many many lives. Call these bullies out and shut them up. People will dox a tuber they disagree with start doing it to this trash. See who keeps spewing trash. I have a twittwat account and use my name I have nothing to hide.

Re: More Publishers Pondering PS5 Game Price Hikes

Darthrau

How many of you are older gamers? When NES and Genesis were out we had 100 dollar games. Not as a benchmark but we had game that hit that price way back then. Now its games are to expensive but you need to pay your people real overtime or they should unionize. You know what you'll pay for a game then? So tell me are you for paying these people for the jobs they've done or are you just talk like the twittwat crowd? You can't have both as you see in our lives you both need money from your employer and to eat/entertainment. So your now against the developer paying the staff then? Which is it? For me if a game is new and I like the sound of the ip I buy it new no reviews. If it's Tlou2 I get it used. Madded/Show on sale 30 to 40. Something established I've enjoyed new. Any dlc waits to see if I like the game anymore I used to buy packages and waste money. That's my long winded 2 cents anyway. I do got to say this site seems to have gotten more complainy lately though lets get back to the love of games huh. Or to disagree and have a nonconfrontational exchange to our sides. We are all human same blood same organs different shades of skin different thoughts thats all.

Re: PlayStation Temporarily Pulls the Plug on Facebook, Instagram Advertising

Darthrau

I liken these tactics to bullying but tomato tomaato. It's kind of how big corporations plan to run this world but hey you all bend the knee and say good job. I guess Disney setting us back what 70 years making whites do white stuff and PoC do people of color stuff is celebrated here also? Because in my eyes we just went back to segregation. I hope they plan on stopping Little Mermaid now according to their new "rules" it's an unfair job correct. This crap has to stop before the world burns. This isn't progressive it's regression and if your to blind to see it I feel dang sorry for you.

Re: Xbox Boss Believes Microsoft Is in Very Good Position, Will Be Able to Demonstrate Hardware Advantages Over PS5

Darthrau

@pip muz What's wrong with them? Nothing but let me educate you on how I saw the 360 era. Look at our studios we have exclusives and we will continue to combat Sony. Ps3 stumbles hard Microsoft all but shutters most of there studios leaving.....yep Forza, Gears(not yet owned by Microsoft),Fable, and Halo. After year 2 maybe 3 of the 360 Microsoft forgot what exclusive ment until now.......maybe. What happens if they get a big lead or Sony does will Obsidian and the other great studio be put to pasture? Its happened before and unlike the world whats to believe history does repeat itself.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Wants to See 15 Hour AAA Titles Return

Darthrau

There is a reason I put my money in rpgs you get your moneys worth. I like games with great stories also but I have to know I'll get me full price of admission. I don't dumpster dive if the developer makes something I feel needs support I support if they don't well I get it used or on the cheap.

Re: Marvel's Avengers Looks Bland in Single Player, Better in Co-Op

Darthrau

I thought it looked good. Also that bland single player piece is the first time you will play with Thor ala no real powers. If you watched the event he has many options and gets flashy moves as you level him. Funny how other games are months out and you hear oh they will get polished up. This group doesn't like something it's a turd straight out the gate. It has what 3 more months barring a delay. I think it's in a good place.

Re: Of Course The Last of Us 2 Is Being Review Bombed

Darthrau

Review bombing???? Why because ND pulled a Disney Star Wars and forgot that people knew the original characters? No one was pushed forward emotionally if anything Ellie is a huge *****. While they WANT you to feel for Abby your thinking why would anyone live with this poison so long. My father died of cancer when I was 19. He found out the day before my wedding. I didn't grow up hating cancer and begrudging every survivor. Who in the world does that? Yet people are stroking this dudes huge ego this games narrative is pure trash!

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us 2?

Darthrau

Where is the I'll buy used to teach someone not to try and preach to me button? For someone who advocates peace and love he makes a games basically saying we are just vengeful pricks. I for one believe people can change but hey who am I. Oh I'm the guy saying you won't see any of my money for this type of game thats right. I don't care if the ps4 shoots friggin rainbows they wouldn't see my coin.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire Livestream Postponed to 25th June

Darthrau

I don't remember who said it but I agree to break this we have to see past us and them. If I see someone who needs help and they aren't an arse I help them no matter the color black,red,yellow,or white. It's not about who they are It's a person that needs help.

Now the statement about being forgotten as much as it is sad. It's happened now in my lifetime 4 or 5 times starting with Rodney King. All races have to see past skin and see human. This generation and its so called protests have been a joke but alas my generation had done no better. To be human is to be flawed. For those who don't know the other Officer was asian and stood with his hands in his pockets.

Re: PS5 Reveal Event Scheduled for Thursday Has Been Postponed

Darthrau

@olderspidey
Last I checked no one has been brought to America for slavery in our lifetime. We fought and bled to correct it. May I point something out whites were also indentured back then. Hate is just hate, I grew up a poor white kid who identified more with the Evans Family from Goodtimes than anything else I saw. Somehow today I have people telling me I'm privileged. I'm one generation removed from my grandmother being called wop off the boat. I don't know you and you don't know me but I do know. I have no right to throw any stones and I've always tried to love my neighbors even if I don't understand their lifestyle. It's not mine to judge after all so again let hate go.

Re: PS5 Reveal Event Scheduled for Thursday Has Been Postponed

Darthrau

@torne now look I wasn't gonna say anything but you throwing up all this white hate stuff. Dudes partner was asian and he just stood there. So let's not look at the skin my brother and look at the injustice. Also people are killing people for their stuff in the "protests". The old adage don't let one bad apple spoil the bunch. There are millions of whites,blacks,yellows,and reds out there and unfortunately human nature is still ugly at times. Now with Sony do I agree? No not really we need to start a healing process sometime and someone is going to have to be brave enough to start that process.

Re: Mafia II: Definitive Edition Is Not the Remaster Many Were Hoping For on PS4

Darthrau

@Alex79uk I guess my definition of broken is different the game has some issues for a ps3 port yeah but unplayable it is not. I'm not trying to sound like a butt here but we do hear how ps3 games are hard to port. This one does have what techniquely 3 issues it's either 30 bucks alone or 60 combined with a totally remade Mafia. Honestly with the trilogy price I kind of consider 2 and 3 as pre order bonus buys.
@dd35beatlesfan1 if you wait a little bit( 10/15 seconds) before starting your game that doesn't happen. I think that's another bug but if it happens just go to main menu and reenter.

Re: Mafia II: Definitive Edition Is Not the Remaster Many Were Hoping For on PS4

Darthrau

Good lord it's 60 bucks for 3 frigging games you tight arses. It's not that bad I've had frame dips but this game looks dang good. Plus I'll get 1 when it comes out and all I see is bitchin about 60 for 3 games. No dang wonder the video game industry is finding ways to choke us with monetization. Balls if you want to support a game buy it at price if you don't ie me and Tlou2 buy it from a certain local company used. But this I'll wait for the sale mentality is gonna kill the business.

Re: PS5's Price Could Be Undercut by Xbox Series X, Analysts Suggest

Darthrau

You guys say sell the systems cheap make up for it on sales........aren't you the same lot who say I haven't bought a current gen game for full price???????? Microsoft giving gamepass away that is there hook you may get a month I don't see three. I still don't see it as viable unless Microsofts goal is to kill off most developers so they can buy them. Let's look at the hospital game that made too 10 in UK but was on gamepass how much do you think those cats lost?

Re: Poll: How Much Do 'True' Gameplay Trailers Matter to You?

Darthrau

Announce a game your a few years out and want some hype. Throw me a cg trailer, we are talking release window a year show me game play with me knowing full well yes it can change and yes it may and will need more polish. Now there is one big problem the whole internet rage thing if your not polished enough it's a ps3 game. So damned if you do damned if you don't.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Leak Leaves Director 'Heartbroken'

Darthrau

Gotta say I didn't see the leaks but IF it was released when it was supposed to. I would have bought it. Now it sounds as if mt original fears were true and I'll stand very clear. So that greed button that was hit you know the one.....logistics may have bit Sony in the butt.

Re: Ubisoft Is Ready to Delay Games If PS5 and Xbox Series X Are Pushed Back

Darthrau

Oh my point was as with the end of any generation. When it's time to move on I'm ready. At least since I've been able to buy my own stuff that is. As a child it was always the next Christmas unless my dad had a great year. We was po always the game that came with the console until your birthday. Man those were the days....my kids are spoiled

Re: Ubisoft Is Ready to Delay Games If PS5 and Xbox Series X Are Pushed Back

Darthrau

I don't know about where you guys are but where I am. It seems everyone decided frig paying rent there is literally no consoles left in my city. I have 2 Wal-Marts and a Target open plus a Best Buy......oddly enough our GameStop isn't allowed to be open.... anyway my daughter wanted Animal Crossing and I thought I'd get her a lite with some of her income tax we do ours late. None around I asked a guy a Wally he was like everyone is spending there stimulus on them. I said guess they don't need to eat or live under a roof he blew his mask of his face.

Re: Poll: What Do You Hope Insomniac Games' First PS5 Project Is?

Darthrau

I thought they were working on multiple but I voted Spider-Man. I need to see their take on Venom and how Miles works out. Maybe even giving us a Spider-Gwen who knows. I also am a Ratchet and Clank fan so either or I've never been a huge FPS type guy even Skyrim and Fallout I played in 3rd. Cyberpunk will be my first I'll try an playthrough. Anyway so Resistance unless they go 3rd person I'm a pass on. Always up for a new ip you know if people will support it cough(1866)cough

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake?

Darthrau

Awww you guys do know ff7 Midgar was linear as all glory right? It opens up a bit more once they leave but we are talking the 90's. I for one would have been po'ed if they made it open world. It wouldn't have been ff7 it would've been ff16 the 7 reboot. I didn't want it, hated the business model never planned on buying it then the world stopped. I bought it and I mostly loved it I've never been a use block guy hence no soules games so combat is tough on me. The other changes to materia and summons are also tough to swallow mostly because I've played 7 every few years since I've first bought it. I also think your allies blow unless you switch to them they don't use abilities spells nothing atleast let me give them some orders balls. If it weren't for autocure.......

Re: Rumour: PS5 Will Have Shorter Supply Than PS4 at Launch, Delay Unlikely with High Price

Darthrau

Good lord that same article says it costs around 450 to make. Should Sony put a 100 bill in the box also? Sony isn't Microsoft they can't afford to throw money away to say they have the bigger penis out the door. I switched to Microsoft when they first came out because they were US based. Then I watched as they took all the companies they bought cannibalized them.Stopped making first party stuff unless it was the big 3 Halo,Fable,and Forza(then along came Cliffy B's game).So I went back to the real video game people. This here the start of this smells like the coming of Xbox they bought developers (who may or may not make it through the console generation), they sound as if they are willing to take a loss on the console, and just as you feel good history will repeat itself I hope not but it sure feels like it. Lastly for all those saying they are willing to drop 400 or 450 on a XseX you do remember for the first year to two there will be no exclusive games. The games made will still play on the XboxX. I'm thinking of upgrading my S to an X incase one of those new games catches my eye

Re: Soapbox: Final Fantasy VII Remake's Cloud Goes From Hero to Zero in a Single Side Quest

Darthrau

I don't want to sound rude and this isn't to the writer but to everyone asking for clearer writing. This is why our entertainment sucks these days. Why is it the younger folk can't be bothered with critical thinking? So we get movies spelled out for us and articles like this where some folk think the writing needs to be clearer. Again I'm not even bagging on younger folk heck I've had to teach my kid kindergarten. They want you guys to crawl,walk, and run at the same daggone time. No wonder your reading and writing suffers for it.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Final Fantasy VII Remake?

Darthrau

I wasn't going to buy it because of it being in pieces. Then I seen the theme with 13 that was it. 13, Vincent, and of course Cloud was my team. So I bought it digitally and will probably pick it up on the cheap physical. I prefer physical unless it's game as service or sports game.

Re: 1971 Project Helios Puts XCOM on Ice This June

Darthrau

There is an indie turn based out now you guys should try. I forget the name but it's about being a space marshal and getting called to a planet but you crash there. It has some cool mechanics. This one I'll give a look also I enjoy me some turn based. I will still play Xcom to this day with my prebuilt characters.
